Where do I go next for session credit?

I participated in a session with FG Con on October 14th, 2017. After not receiving a chronicle sheet or having gotten credit for the game through Paizo, I sent two follow up emails on October 26th and again on November 18th. After receiving no reply from him at all, I contacted the Pathfinder Society email on November 21st. It's now February, and I was reviewing my characters for an upcoming Con, and I noticed I still haven't received credit for this session.

Maybe this is a small thing, but I don't get to play very often- and when I'm able to find the time to participate in a game it would be really nice to get credit for it. If there was some sort of concern, or any reason (I honestly don't know what that would be) as to why I wasn't given credit for completing the game- it would have been pretty reasonable to respond to me explaining why that is. I guess there are GM's out there who just will not do the book keeping that is required in a situation like this- but I was very surprised not to have received any reply from PFS either. I assumed at the least I would have gotten some kind of communication from them. I love Pathfinder, and have enjoyed my time with PFS- but this is the second time I've had to hunt down credit for a session after months of waiting. At least the other one the GM did eventually give me credit for it. I really don't know what the next steps here are if official PFS folks aren't willing to lend a hand. I'm hoping someone will see this and point me in the direction of what I need to do next. This whole process has been pretty aggravating to be honest. Sorry for the rant all- just not sure what the next steps are. Thanks.

Do you have a paper Chronicle yet? That is the real "credit", the online system is just backup.

You should contact the Venture-Captain for your area - they can be found on the main PFS page under "coordinators". There's also a Regional Venture-Captain if you need to bump it further up the chain.

Oakdown, what scenario did you play? I was able to track down reporting but do not see anything that could have been your number mistyped. Your next step if you aren't able to contact the GM from the chronicle and your venture officer hasn't assisted is to escalate it up to the next higher VO. Likely one of the Online VLs or VC.

You favorited your own post?

Can you describe what happened at these two Cons and the interaction you had with your GM?

They would have handed you a paper Chronicle at the end of the session, or at the very least apologized for (printer broke, dog ate their satchel, global warming torched their house) and collected your contact information to get you a copy later.

It's *possible* that you just had two extremely unlucky encounters. I've never heard of anything like this happening, so more information would be helpful.

FG Con is online, so the transmission of the chronicles appears to have failed somewhere in the chain.

He doesn't have any posts from a previous campaign.

FG Con is an online Fantasy Grounds event. So it looks like the transmission of the chronicles appears to have failed somewhere in the chain, as well as event reporting.

Did he use a different profile, then?

It's a VTT event, not PbP.

Hi Oakdown,

I'm one of the VOs for the Online region, i'll be sending you a mail shortly and we'll see about getting you your missing chronicle.

Apologies for the problems you've had to deal with so far!
